IAN GARRY VS GABRIEL GREEN LOWDOWN

Ian Garry (9-0) is following the superstar blueprint by appearing on blockbuster pay-per-view cards and this will be his third in his third UFC appearance. He lit up the Cage Warriors scene picking up the welterweight championship and made his debut against Jordan Williams in November last year. It was not plain sailing, but he eventually lived up to his reputation by cleaning his clock at the end of the first round. He returned a couple months ago to fight Darian Weeks and picked up the fifth knockout of his career and continue his perfect start.

Gabriel Green (11-3) heads to Vegas to spoil the show and derail to prospect. He had an extremely tough debut filling in for Kevin Holland to fight Daniel Rodriguez (2020). He lost a unanimous decision but has responded with a couple of quality wins. He outpointed Philip Rowe (2021) and is coming off a TKO over Yohan Lainesse back in April.

IAN GARRY VS GABRIEL GREEN PREDICTION

Garry’s performances have not been perfect eating too many shots for his liking, but it is all part of the learning process and he clearly has a big and bright future ahead of him. He is also a big and bright welterweight and will boast his usual height advantage. He will only have a slight one-inch reach advantage over Green who will be his biggest test so far.

Green is also a solid boxer with heavy hands. He can also grapple but closing the distance and taking Garry down is easier said than done. If Green can prevent Garry from conducting the range and throw flurries in the pocket he can cause problems. His chin has been there to be hit and we can see Green rocking him.

That said, we expect Garry to bring an even more improved version of himself. He has the ability to control the distance and tempo utilizing his movement to land heavy leg kicks, kicks to the body and slick combinations luring Green into his traps. We are backing Garry fuel the hype but will need a flawless performance to put Green away.
